Embodiment Construction

[0013] Below, refer to figure 1 , to illustrate the method according to the invention by way of example.

[0014] figure 1 The flow chart 100 of FIG. 2 includes a first step 101 , a second step 102 , a third step 103 and a fourth step 104 , interconnected by arrows indicating a preferred order of execution.

[0015] In order to allow the method to be performed by a programmable device, figure 1 The method is implemented in the form of a software program.

[0016] In an initial step (not shown), the utility meter is used to identify the cumulative consumption of the utility. On this basis, consumption information is collected for monitoring and billing purposes. To allow the meter to communicate this information back to the utility provider, the meter takes the form of a smart meter. If the utility is electric and imposes advanced requirements such as load regulation or demand response support on the distribution network, this network takes the form of a smart grid. Herei...

Abstract

The invention concerns a method of visualizing consumption information, the method comprising the steps of presenting (103) the consumption information to a consumer and presenting (104) to the consumer a benchmark for assessing the consumption information, wherein the method further comprises the steps of, prior to presenting (104) the benchmark, determining (101) a peer group of consumers based on a characteristic of the consumer and determining (102) the benchmark based on the peer group. The invention further concerns a corresponding device, storage means, and software program therefor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of visualizing consumption information according to the preamble of claim 1 , a device according to the preamble of claim 8 , a storage device according to the preamble of claim 9 , and a storage device according to the preamble of claim 10 . The preamble of the software program. Background technique [0002] Smart meter refers to an improved meter, such as an electricity meter, which identifies consumption in more detail than traditional meters and optionally, but usually transmits said information back over some network for monitoring and Local utility for billing purposes. The method of remotely measuring and reporting consumption is also known as telemetry. The term "smart meter" generally refers to electricity meters, but in this context refers to any utility device, such as electricity, gas and water consumption, among others. Smart meters are generally believed to be of lower cost than traditional time interv...
